Top SchoolSteve Roy is a veteran technology strategist and founder who applies 40 years of enterprise technology and infrastructure experience to governance-focused intelligence for mid-market boards and private equity investors. As founder of Demarcations and longtime head of Telecom Buyer, he specializes in AI Dependence and Agentic AI governance, helping deal teams identify hidden AI risks across vendor platforms, operations, shadow tools, and single points of human-dependent knowledge. He combines hands-on systems engineering roots at Digital with commercial due diligence experience from Arthur D. Little and advisory work across thousands of vendor negotiations to translate technical posture into board-level decisioning. Steve’s approach is practical and audit-oriented—spotting where AI-driven revenue or margin claims and infrastructure liabilities will surprise investors. He holds credentials in AI governance (IAPP AIGP), is boardroom-qualified as a technology expert, and is expanding into applied agentic AI at MIT, reflecting a rare blend of technical depth and deal-side scrutiny.
